Texas governor doesn't care how many die

[Papageorgio]

Despite the constant increase in Covid 19 virus, cases, Greg Abbot thinks it is more important to bow to Trump and open the state for business as usual than it is to listen to the experts and wait until infection rates start to fall. How many more will unnecessarily die just so Abbot can get his brownie points from Trump?

Texas Tops 1,000 New COVID-19 Cases for Third Straight Day

Texas hit a third straight day of more than 1,000 new coronavirus cases Saturday as the state charged into its first weekend of re-opening the economy

How coronavirus impacted Texas: Hospitalizations, vaccinations, cases and deaths

From April 2020 to August 2022, the Texas Tribune used data from the Texas Department of State Health Services to track coronavirus hospitalizations, vaccinations, cases and deaths. We stopped updating these numbers in August 2022.

Cuomo feels the same. Funny how all the governors want people to die.

So, what percentage of those diagnoses resulted in death?

Or are we conveniently leaving out that part?

He is leaving out the part where experts say we should wait till infection rates fall. Sorry, but you just don't have the credibility of the people who actually know what they are talking about.

Experts or bullshit artists looking out for their own interests? What passes for medical practice these days is nothing more than malpractice by check box. The assholes have become the most callous and insincere, two faced bastards on the face of the earth.

It's a shame the right has turned it's back on science.

Nobody has turned their back on science. We simply don't feel the need to go along with your pandemic fear tactics that shut down our entire economy. Science is showing us that the original estimates were grossly inflated.

The original estimates were for a scenario where we did nothing to mitigate the spread, dope.

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

So we're supposed to keep states shut down even though most of those dying with Coronavirus already had one foot in the grave?

Old and Sick Lives Don't Matter

I thought "all lives matter".
What happened?

You thought? First time for everything. Congratulations.

Couldn't touch it I see. Loser.

Touch it? Are you hitting on me? Weird and gross.

Still nothing, loser?

That’s what she said

Only for the 2 million deaths estimate, moron.

tell the Texas Gov to lift the restrictions on "Elective Surgery", because, as you all know, miketx needs his butt implants!

More in line with reality is that many people have been put out of work and businesses closed. That MUST end!

[Hutch Starskey]

apparently rw's have the right to eat at a diner with rats running across counters and serving spoiled chicken -

their constitution doesnt give health officials the authority to protect the rest of the people and close the place -

dumbasses

Laughably bad analogy, Siete! But that's what you on the left do every time someone questions governmental overreach! You immediately claim that means they want to do away with ALL government regulations that keep us safe!

says right here in the thread - rw's aint skeert of nuttin' ... surviving all the wars n' such -

so press your luck heroboi, and get ya sum corona19

Already had it and recovered from it. Thanks for the well wishes though, Siete!

I call BULLSHIT ^^^^^^^^^^^^

every lying rw sob on the planet had 19 and breezed through it -- just f'n ask them

The amount of people who have already had Covid 19 and experienced only mild symptoms is the dirty little secret of this pandemic, Siete! How can you scare healthy people into staying home if you don't make this virus deadlier than it really is? If you can't keep people home...how can you shut down the economy? If you can't shut down the economy than how are you ever going to elect a useless piece of shit like Joe Biden?

So the rest of the world is trying to elect Biden as well?

Dope

Estimates are constantly adjusted to match new information. The ones you refer to were estimates if we did nothing.

And how close were those "estimates" to what took place, Bulldog? I'm hard pressed to think of another example that would fit the definition of "grossly inflated" than the estimates that were flying around about this virus!

They weren't "close to what took place" because we instituted measures to reduce the spread of the virus, dope.
Are you stoopid or sumthin?

some people respect things to fear

some are too f'n stupid consider fear

take your dumbass for instance

Go hide under your bed and suck your thumb until it's all over and the experts tell you you can come out.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

It's a 14-day incubation period, so any NEW cases are NOT a direct result of the expiration of the stay-at-home orders.

This is BULLSHIT propaganda to make people fearful.

We're not rolling it back, commie bitches. You lost. It's OVER!!!

.

2-14 day incubation. I believe the average is 10 days for symptoms.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

cry about the economy then reopen businesses -

two things better happen thats for damn sure -

1. reopening isnt premature and sets off round 2 of the virus

2. people flock to businesses in droves and a magical recovery takes place overnight .

God, you're an idiot! The reopening of the economy is specifically designed so that people CAN'T flock to businesses in droves! Restaurants in Florida are open...but only at 25% capacity! Hard to have "droves" of customers in a business when only 25% of capacity is allowed! Duh?

Hard to make a profit either.

 

[whitehall]

Democrats don't care how many (illegals) die of starvation because they can't access government handouts. Democrats don't give a shit how many small businesses go under as long as their corporate donors, bureaucrats and media celebrities still have a job.

 

[Dr Grump]

You are the one who made it political in your opening post. And you still haven’t answered my question. What is the acceptable number of ruined lives and deaths attributed to your continued authoritarian lockdowns?

Don't have a lockdown. Let thousands die. How many people have died of poverty directly associated lockdown? How are you measuring it? What is the acceptable number of deaths for COVID-19 before measures are put in place? Or is the almighty dollar more important than peoples' lives? I'd suggest if there are drug and alcohol abuse and domestic violence going on there's more at play that just lock down.

As you have been told repeatedly there are less than a 1000 deaths here in TX. Shut your filthy lying mouth.

Totally unrelated to what I was saying.

A better question is how many families are you willing to bankrupt so that the economy doesn't look good going into the Fall election? Do any of you liberals care about those people? They don't have any money. They have bills to pay. They need to feed their families. But you want to keep the nation closed down for as long as you can to make Trump look bad!

Here's the thing, Bulldog...

Those States that are opening back up now? They're going to be the ones who's economy bounces back the quickest. States like Michigan? With a Governor that wants to string this out for as long as she can? People that live there are FUCKED!!! See how that translates come November. Why would you vote for people that put politics above people?

Liberals love the poor...It's the very definition of being a Liberal.
Then the Liberals try to get professionals to pay more taxes to support the poor.

It's the very definition of a mature society and Christianity.

Wrong. You lefties are confusing the government with the church.

Nope. It's just that you right wingers are so fond of spouting about your claimed moral superiority. Of course, I can see how that might be a problem with our current president.

Christians ARE superior to you filthy heathen. Jesus never taught people to depend on the government to meet their needs. You're confused.

Show me the Scripture that says the government is supposed to care for the poor.

Forget the fact that the entire world is doing the same thing and not just to make trump look bad and realize the economy is already fucked going into the fall and will remain so long after.

There is no quick recovery for either the virus or the economy.

I never claimed there would be a quick recovery from either. I'm simply pointing out that people NEED to go back to work or THEY will be fucked! That's not even open for debate. We can't sustain what we've done for the past month. It's not economically feasible.

You claimed it was to make Trump look bad, liar.

Explain to me why Republican Governors are opening faster than Democratic ones are, Hutch? Then explain to those people in Democratically controlled States why THEY'RE not going to have a job because their leaders aren't doing the same thing!

Because the Republicans are more concerned with the economy than with those that will die as a result of opening too soon. You just made that clear in your post.

What's the hurry, right ?
Cause, heck, the government can just keep sending out those checks every month to every American, and maybe in a couple years when it's completely safe, we can think about actually working for a paycheck.

Perhaps the democrats jumped the gun in pointing out to the Klan that the death rates disproportionately affect blacks. These deaths are donkey hands.

Little doubt that there is significant overlap between the KKK and right wing posters here

You must be learning disabled, mentally challenged or what we used to call retarded. How many times must you be told that the KKK was an organization of the democratic party? MORON!

Yep, a century ago. Now they support Trump.

Awww what's the matter, can't handle an inconvenient truth? I grew up in the south and they were every damn one of them Democrats, dixiecrats to be precise. So you hopeless lying dipshit, I friggin know better because I was there, you idiot.

The estimates were always reasonable, given the information that was available at the time.

So estimates in the millions were "reasonable"? That's about as laughable as your claim that Trump demanded "conditions" before he gave the States Federal aid!

Sure they were given the rate of infection we're seeing. Look how quickly it spread through meat processing facilities when not mitigated.
